Hot Spuds in the City

 I have never personally been a fan of spicy food.  I like to taste things. So, a spicy dish can ruin my taste buds for an entire evening.  I have recently tried to be more open minded with spice and find myself incorporating peppers into my recipes.  This interesting side dish is an adaptation of a Tapas recipe.  The measurements are approximate, as I create it as I go, then try to remember what I did. Not very scientific, but I never claimed to be Einstein...I'm a much better cook :)


Hot Potatoes

1.5 lbs new potatoes, skin on/boiled, cut into 1/2 or 1/4
1/4 c olive oil
5 tbs olive oil
3 tbs sundried tomatoes
2 tbs garlic, chopped
dash cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbs sherry vinegar
1/2 tsp paprika (I used smoked)

Heat 1/4 c olive oil in skillet.  Add potatoes and fry on med until golden brown.  Meanwhile blend together in food processor' or chopper' last 7 ingredients until well incorporated.  Put mix in med sized bowl.
Remove potatoes from oil and drain on paper towels.  Put potatoes into bowl with sauce, mix well.
